- JJordanNewcastle and Northumberland •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoBrilliant meal at the Greenhead. Majority of the group had Sundays roasts which were beautifully presented and tasted fantastic. I had the chicken pie which was sublime. The real thick cut handmade chips were also brilliant. Friendly, happy staff in a lovely cosy environment. 10/10. Best meal we have had in the area in a long time. Will definitely be back soon.More infoGreenhead HotelPrice: Moderate• British• Carlisle•4.8
